India Retold: Dialogues with Independent Documentary Filmmakers in
India is an attempt to situate and historicize the engagement of
independent documentary filmmakers with the postcolonial India and
its discourses with a focus on their independent documentary
practices. Structured as an interview collection, the book examines
how these documentary filmmakers, though not a homogeneous
category, practice their independence through their ideology, their
filmmaking praxis, their engagement with the everyday and their
formal experiments. As a sparsely studied filmmakers, the book
through meticulously tracing a wide ranging historical transitions
(often marked by communal conflicts and the forces of
globalization) not only details the ways in which independent
filmmakers in India address the questions of postcolonial nation
and its modernist projects but also explores their idiosyncratic
views of these filmmakers which are characterized by a definitive
departure from the logic of commercial films or state-sponsored
documentary films. More important in many ways, these documentary
filmmakers expose incongruences in national institutions and
programs, embrace the voice of the underrepresented, and thus,
imagine an alternative vision of the nation. During the last three
years of the execution of the project, thirty Indian documentary
filmmakers are interviewed in this book. Given the dearth of
quality interviews and little theoretical engagement with
documentary as a genre, this book would not only fill in the gap in
scholarship but also would serve as an authentic guide for
interested readers and for documentary filmmakers alike.
